This data collection contains information on finances for a
sample of postsecondary institutions in the United States. Data on
financial characteristics of postsecondary institutions are taken from
Finance and Consolidated surveys, collected annually. The finance data
are used for reporting and projecting capital outlays of two-year and
four-year colleges and universities, trends in replacements of plant
assets, and performance of endowment funds. Part 1, Institutional
Characteristics, includes variables on control and level of
institution, religious affiliation, highest level of offering,
Carnegie classification, and state FIPS codes and abbreviations. Part
2, Current Funds Revenues by Source (Part A of the survey), provides
each institution's current fund revenues by source (e.g., tuition and
fees, government, gifts). Part 3, Current Funds Expenditures by
Function (Part B), covers expenditures for instruction, research, and
plant maintenance. Part 4, Clarifying Questions (Part C), contains
information on total E&G revenues and expenditures to determine what
is included/excluded from reported current fund expenditures. Part 5,
Clarifying Question 5 (Part C5), lists excluded financial activities
by subentities. Part 6, Utility Expenditures (Part D), reports all
expenditures for utilities in the operation and maintenance of the
plant, auxiliary enterprises, and independent operations, excluding
expenditures for hospitals. Part 7, Scholarships and Fellowship
Expenditures (Part E), covers scholarships, defined as grant-in-aid,
trainee stipends, tuition and fee waivers, prizes to undergraduate
students, and fellowships given to graduate students. Part 8,
Expenditures for Library Acquisitions (Part F), covers costs involved
in acquisition of library materials. Part 9, Indebtedness on Physical
Plant (Part G), reports data on indebtedness liability against the
physical plant, including auxiliary enterprises facilities as well as
educational and general facilities, and excluding debt issued and
backed by the state government. Part 10, Details of Endowment Assets
(Part H), provides information on the amounts of gross investments of
endowment, term endowment, and funds functioning as endowment for the
institution, and any of its foundations and other affiliated
organizations. Part 11, Selected Funds Balances (Part I), includes
both unrestricted and restricted funds balances. Part 12, Hospital
Revenues (Part J), reports the revenues for, or generated by, major
public service hospitals over which the institution has fiscal control
(excluding medical schools). Part 13, Physical Plant Assets (Part K),
reports the values of land, buildings, and equipment owned, rented, or
used by the institution. Part 14, Consolidated Form (CN) data (Part
CN), includes revenues from tuition and fees, federal, state, and
local grants, contracts, and sales of educational services. It also
includes instructional expenditures, scholarships, and fellowships by
source of financial aid.

The Finance (F) survey was mailed to 3,908 postsecondary
institutions in the United States that were accredited at the
collegiate level in the previous academic year or four-year eligible
institutions that offered a bachelor's, master's, doctor's, or
first-professional degree. All 96 system offices were mailed the (F)
survey regardless of accreditation status or type of degree
offered. The "Consolidated" (CN) survey, which collects a limited
amount of financial data, was mailed to the remaining 3,116
institutions that were eligible.

All postsecondary institutions in operation in 1996 in the
United States, the District of Columbia, and outlying territories
(American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the
Marshall Islands) and Department of Defense schools outside the United
States.
